Actress Rachel McAdams says she is keen to push herself out of her comfort zone and loves the unpredictable nature of her job. “I’m always looking to take on roles that push me further than I might like to go. I don’t want to repeat myself and stay safe. One of the things I love about acting is how I never know exactly where a character is going to take me,” McAdams said. When it comes to choosing films, the 39-year-old actress wants to find a “connection” to her part, reported Contactmusic. “I’ve never worried about (playing determined women). I’ve worked on serious dramas, such as A Most Wanted Man and I also played a nasty woman who tormented Owen Wilson in Midnight in Paris. I judge projects by the people involved and the quality of the writing,” she said.

In a hilarious gag, Ryan Reynolds revealed that his onscreen alter ego Deadpool had received a rejection letter from the Avengers when he had written to Tony Stark six years ago requesting a place in the army of Marvel superheroes. The 41-year-old actor congratulated the team of Avengers: Infinity War on Instagram. Reynolds shared a photograph of a letter dated April 14, 2012, that he received from Stark Industries — headed by Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr in the films. The rejection letter carried the subject line: “Re: Joining the Avengers” with a signature sarcastic reply signed by Tony that read, “No. Absolutely not. Go. Bother Prof X. No.” Reynolds captioned the picture: “From a guy who never knows when to quit, I’m glad you guys never did. Congrats #Avengers.”
